About

Claude Monet visited London numerous times between 1870 and 1901, painting some of his most important works in the city. Why was he repeatedly attracted back to the foggy and overpopulated urban capital when his impressionist work was otherwise so concerned with light and nature? What was the city like when he visited it in the 1870s and 80s? How was he received by the London art establishment at that time? Professor John House is the Walter H Annenberg Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Art
